    44Generally, the work goes quickly once we have the hardware.

    6 Evaluation boards are fine. Real computer hardware is even better 
    7 because it let us do real-world testing over a longer period of time, 
    8 and also supports the project in general. 
     6Evaluation boards are fine. Real computer hardware is much better though, 
     7because it lets us do real-world testing over a longer period of time. 
     8In many cases, the way a chipset is integrated in systems must be taken 
     9into acount in the driver, and evaluation boards don't help much there. 
     10Donation of usable computer hardware also supports the project in general, 
     11so hardware which isn't directly related to the development of a hardware 
     12monitoring driver, but can be used to build test systems, is welcome too.
